End - Meg slurps a shake

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "The All-American Slurp," which was written by Lensey Namioka. At the beginning of the story, the Lins' family is seen having a hard time eating the "raw celery" which Mrs. Gleason prepared. In China, they would often boil the celery first before eating. This was followed by the buffet wherein they were invited for dinner. They didn't know that buffet dining would mean eating in the living room and not dragging some chairs towards the food area.

In the middle of the story, the mother finally bought the narrator some jeans because she saw how it was a necessity in America. They also ate at the Lakeview restaurant as a celebration for Mr. Lins' promotion in the company.

At the end of the story, Meg persuaded the narrator that they have some milkshakes, since Dairy Queen was just located down the street. The narrator ended up paying for the shakes since she was the host.

So, this explains the answers.
